iansums Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Thats why I said but forgetting all of that... Pienaar would be a great addition and HCDAJFU Agreed Pienaar would be a great signing, but let's be realistic, it ain't gonna happen.
mitch01 Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Michael Owen on a reasonable salary would be superb. He is a fantastic player, has shown he is clever enough to get by even now his pace has gone. Won't happen, though.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Agreed Pienaar would be a great signing, but let's be realistic, it ain't gonna happen. He will stay at Everton,no reason not to really, don't know why we're even discussing him.
Lighthouse Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Klasnic I've always thought looked good but I'm not too sure about his age and injury record these days.
EBS1980 Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Sorry, but if anyone believes South Agent is a real agent your a fool! He is NOT an agent. How do you know he isn't?
Saint Garrett Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 He will stay at Everton,no reason not to really, don't know why we're even discussing him. I dont think he will stay at Everton. He basically said goodbye and thankyou on Twitter.
saintbob40 Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Klasnic as back up for SRL isnt a bad call. Reo Coker seemed to have spent his life itching to be somewhere else wherever he's been and appears to have the loyalty of an alley cat and a huge opinion of himself....so thats a no from me.

sfc4prem Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Kyle Naughton? Out of reach most probably, but even on a season-long loan would be decent.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 I dont think he will stay at Everton. He basically said goodbye and thankyou on Twitter. We shall have to see on that one,why only the other day Tim Howard was saying how important it was for Pienaar to be signed permanently.Pienaar has legal troubles though, he's on bail awaiting sentencing at the moment, just a couple of speedings but he didn't turn up in court and there was an arrest warrant out for him at one time.
Dr. Kucho Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Lukasz Fabianski has said he wants to leave Arsenal, 27 years old and probably wont cost to much.
SaintNeil90 Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 https://twitter.com/#!/MTFergie There are so many losers out there who want attention. This is exactly why I only believe things when they're signed and on the OS. Shame really, taken the fun out of 'rumours'.

Reo Coker seemed to have spent his life itching to be somewhere else wherever he's been and appears to have the loyalty of an alley cat and a huge opinion of himself....so thats a no from me. Glad to see this opinion of Reo Coker as that is my impression as well.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Glad to see this opinion of Reo Coker as that is my impression as well. wouldn't be at all surprised to see him at West Ham if they win tomorrow, been there before hasn't he or am I getting confused ?
Thedelldays Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 wouldn't be at all surprised to see him at West Ham if they win tomorrow, been there before hasn't he or am I getting confused ? don't all players generally move when a club get relegated...? have i missed something..?
Saint Garrett Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 wouldn't be at all surprised to see him at West Ham if they win tomorrow, been there before hasn't he or am I getting confused ? Yer he was there, don't think they particularly liked him though. I know my mates were more than happy when he left.
Thedelldays Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Yer he was there, don't think they particularly liked him though. I know my mates were more than happy when he left. to be honest, that does not mean a great deal does it...celtic were over the moon hooiveld left
Saint Garrett Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 True but just cant see him going back there...Just like I couldnt see Hooiveld going back to Celtic.
toofarnorth Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Some people are saying no to players like Jenas and Aquilani? Think we're getting a bit above our station already here.. You can guarantee whoever we sign will be a useless lump in the eyes of many
Johnny Shearer Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 http://www.wba.co.uk/page/News/0,,10366~2774175,00.html Have their release list out. Nicky Shorey would be good as cover for Fox as I think Harding will be found out in the premier league. Also allowing Shaw to be eased in as and when practical.
Highfield Saint Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Kyle Naughton? Out of reach most probably. Same with Kylie Minogue...
Appy Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 I really do think Rodriguez is the one we have wanted all along.
S-Clarke Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 I really do think Rodriguez is the one we have wanted all along. This. Very very talented player.
sfc4prem Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Rodríguez is the obvious long-term replacement for Lambo... Would be chuffed if we got him and Trippier.
Chez Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 This is of course true And I would have thought you would have known my opinions better than to assume I would be happy paying him an extortionate amount ? But at the right wage etc He could be a decent signing, obv that also depends on the level we are aiming (with signing) to be at.established premiership players will all be on extortionate wages, especially goalscorers that have moved a few times for big money. what's the right wage for him 30, 40, 50, 60k a week?
S-Clarke Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 football news @Onthemovetweets Southampton ready a bid to bring jay Rodriguez to st.marys #Southampton
Foxstone Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Trippier and Rodriguez. Very plausible I would suggest - And bloody good if we get them...
Thedelldays Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 just had a quick look on the longside (burnley forum) and one rumour was mentioned.... sunderland have beid £5m for Jay-rod with Westwood in exchange and Wickham in a season long loan another poster reckons newcastle beckons for Rodriguez and Trippier....the latter being a replacement for simpson
SuperSAINT Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 football news @Onthemovetweets Southampton ready a bid to bring jay Rodriguez to st.marys #Southampton Are they reliable? Or is it one of the random twitter sites?
S-Clarke Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Are they reliable? Or is it one of the random twitter sites? One of the ''better'' ones, but they're all a much of a muchness.

Thedelldays Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 I will be completely honest..I have never seen anything of J-rod other than tiny clips on the football league show. what sort of player is he...I know he is young...is he good in the air...is he quick...good feet..?
SuperSAINT Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 We'll probably find out soon enough - Burnley don't tend to keep their mouths shut for long...
S-Clarke Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 just had a quick look on the longside (burnley forum) and one rumour was mentioned.... sunderland have beid £5m for Jay-rod with Westwood in exchange and Wickham in a season long loan another poster reckons newcastle beckons for Rodriguez and Trippier....the latter being a replacement for simpson Newcastle want Trippier, but they're trying for another RB first - if that fails, then they'll go for Trippier. Depends if he wants to hang around in limbo waiting to be 2nd choice... Jay Rodriguez will generate alot of interest from middle-sized premiership clubs because he's a top, top young player. It's very clear that we like him, we want him, and we've tried in the past. With the extra $$$ we now have and the lure of the PL, I think we could be in a decent position.... Apparently we've acted very well when dealing with Burnley, which is why they allowed us to keep a 'bid' on the table and revist at a later date.

I've seen him Live twice, and I know that's not a great deal to judge, but you could see from those 2 snippets that he's got quality. He's very skilled on the ball, very clever with his movement and has an exceptional touch. He's not slow, but not massively pacey - but he's always quite a target and scores alot of headers.
JoeShmoe Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Trippier be great but other Prem clubs interested i.e. Newcastle. JRod and Jarvis be great moves and i'd go for Matt Phillips if Blackpool dont go up. Still think we need a step up at FB, CB and CM
MarkSFC Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 I think there will be two strategies to the transfer window. 1) Young(ish) English players ON THE UP in their career. e.g. Rodriguez, Trippier, M Phillips, Ince, Clyne. players who may well be more expensive to purchase but will over time become more valuable (just in case of need to sell) but more importantly potentially International class or very near to it. I expect 4 or 5 of these. 2) Fairly experienced Foreign players who may have reached their peak or are just on their way down so to speak and maybe are a level below International. I suspect these to be the cheaper (in comparison to english/british equivalents) options...and almost certainly players most of us haven't heard of! I expect 2 or 3 of these.

Recent article on him... Gives you a rough idea... http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/9665668.Dobson__Jay_Rod_is_hot_property/
Bearsy Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Villa mate of mine is going on about us signing Carlos Cuellar.

I didn't see anything there to impress at all, but if the ball is smashed miles high and wide of you what hope have you got? I was more impressed with the movement and threat of Austin, but likewise he didn't have much to work with.

I was more impressed with the movement and threat of Austin, but likewise he didn't have much to work with. He probably didn't stand out too much, but because of our interest in him I kind of followed him most of the game. Looked pretty assured in the glimpses I saw, and his goal scoring record this year is excellent. He's the one player I really want us to sign...have done since the interest came out tbh.
S-Clarke Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Leicester have signed Jamie Vardy for a fee rising to 1.7m, that is INSANE for a non-league player...
SuperSAINT Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 Leicester have signed Jamie Vardy for a fee rising to 1.7m, that is INSANE for a non-league player... ...and I thought the 1m we were supposed to be signing him for was mental....
S-Clarke Posted 18 May, 2012 Posted 18 May, 2012 ...and I thought the 1m we were supposed to be signing him for was mental.... Leicester have paid £1m up front, and 700k on future bits and bobs. But it's insane either way you look at it, We got sharp for Less.... I think we were interested, but obviously they flew past our ''fair price''...
